Wednesday star Jenna Ortega is just as fearless as the iconic character she portrays on Netflix's mega smash series.

 

The star has once again voiced her support for the Palestinian people, calling them her "heroes" in a recent interview with French magazine Gala.

 

Speaking at a Dior-hosted party in Paris, the outspoken actress praised the resilience and courage of Palestinians amid the indifference of world leaders.

 

"I see the people of Palestine as my heroes," Ortega said. "They are continuously using their voices despite the world ignoring their pleas."

 

She added that she hopes to amplify their struggle. "I wish to lift and raise their voices as well," Ortega continued, calling their efforts "important and commendable."

This is not the first time the 21-year-old actor has taken a public stance on the issue. In June, she shared a series of Instagram posts referencing attacks in Iran and Palestine, writing: "My thoughts are heavy" and that "Palestinian cries are being buried in everyday media."

 

In 2023, Ortega also made headlines after leaving the Scream VII just one day after her co-star Melissa Barrera was fired over pro-Palestine social media posts. While many speculated her departure was an act of solidarity, the studio denied any connection, attributing Ortega's exit to scheduling conflicts.

 

Jenna Ortega’s continued vocal support for Palestine has drawn praise from her fans.

 

Several Hollywood celebrities are raising their voices against the genocide being carried out in Gaza.

 

As per the Palestinian Health Ministry, at least 67,160 people have been killed so far and 169,679 wounded by Israeli attacks across Gaza since October 2023.
